If you loved El adiós de un hijo, try Port of Flowers
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to El adiós de un hijo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Port of Flowers is
One imagines the director had to start somewhere. Two swindlers descend on an unsuspecting port town at the beginning of the war. Their grift is foiled when they unexpectedly develop consciences. The film is as much a testament to the director's faith in people as it is a product of wartime cinematic mandates.
